3 Agenda A word about Cargill The role of the private sector Palm oil smallholders Indonesia Cocoa smallholders Cote d Ivoire Cotton farmers Zambia Grain production Eastern Europe Conclusions: the critical role of the policy framework Copyright Cargill, Incorporated All rights reserved. 1

4 Cargill our company Located in 65 countries 142,000 employees worldwide $134 billion in revenue 2011/12 $1.1 billion in profit 2011/12 2

5 Cargill is composed of 70 businesses organised around four major segments Agricultural We buy, process and distribute grain, oilseeds and other commodities to makers of food and animal nutrition products. We also provide crop and livestock producers with products and services. Food We provide food and beverage manufacturers, foodservice companies and retailers with high-quality ingredients, meat and poultry products, and health-promoting ingredients and ingredient systems. Financial We provide our agricultural, food, financial and energy customers around the world with risk management and financial solutions. Industrial We serve industrial users of energy, salt, starch and steel products. We also develop and market sustainable products made from agricultural feedstocks. 3

6 The role of the private sector The private sector is the delivery mechanism to end hunger and poverty That private sector includes 450 million smallholder farmers and millions of entrepreneurs along the food chain The private sector can only do this with help: help from the right policy framework and the right incentives. The private sector isn t perfect and will not deliver on every societal goal without help from other stakeholders and there will be a need to fill in the gaps. Policy framework is critical And it is not simple: many different policy areas interact : markets and trade, investment policy, property rights, infrastructure physical, educational - price risk management, safety nets..

7 Palm oil Copyright Cargill, Incorporated All rights reserved. 5

8 PT Hindoli South Sumatra, Indonesia Transmigrants from Java Island moved to South Sumatra in late 1980s. Became Hindoli smallholders under PIR-Trans scheme. Oil palm planting occurred between 1991 and ,800 smallholders represented by 17 cooperatives hold 18,000 ha. PT Hindoli Cargill-owned estate of 18,000 ha received Roundtable of Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification in 2009 PT Hindoli smallholders 18,000 ha received RSPO certification in August 2010: o o World s first smallholder scheme certified under RSPO s Smallholder Principles & Criteria Joint effort and achievement of Cargill with smallholders 6

9 Sustainable palm oil means sustainable business A smallholder kavling (plot) is their family business. Yield intensification is a precursor to smallholder economic well-being. Sustainability represents longevity and ability to pass the business on to the next generation. Plantation companies and smallholders are both equally responsible for the success of the partnership. 7

10 PT Hindoli Smallholders Average income per farmer 2006: IDR 26,500,000 (about US$ 2,650) In 6 years, their income has gone up by 3 times to over $9,000. Aspects of the policy framework Government taxes palm oil sales tax and export tax a burden but not punitive and it cannot become too uncompetitive vis a vis Malaysia. Exports especially of refined products are encouraged. There have been joint efforts - government/companies - at local level to put the physical (roads/bridges) and educational infrastructure in place We hold the plantation on a long lease 30 years- and there are government requirements about allocation of land to smallholders. Smallholders each hold 2ha land outright. Industry/government discussions ensure smallholders are paid a fair price but it is linked to the world price. Government encourages sustainability certification Original smallholder house Smallholder house Today 8

26 Grains Copyright Cargill, Incorporated All rights reserved. 24

27 The Ag horizons model for farmers in Eastern Europe and elsewhere Our own success in sourcing grain for our customers depends on the ability of farmers to run a thriving and prosperous business and produce the grain. We help farmers in several countries US, South Africa, Romania, Hungary, Ukraine Provide agronomic advice Provide inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, crop protection chemicals to improve quality and yield of crops Offer pre financing and prompt payment Provide customised marketing plans and financial risk management tools Provide information on the global market outlook 25

28 Conclusions: the right policy framework, implemented Holistic policy framework: transparent, ethical, gender-appropriate Needs to cover markets, trade, infrastructure, investment policy, property rights, safety nets, price risk management, education and training, farmer organisations. Hold back on taxes on farm prices and use taxation funds to build capacity Price risk management and safety nets essential and hard to do The right framework helps achieve scale: taking farmers from $2 to $20 a day Economic impact assessments farm income, community impact etc. We would welcome help to do this we don t have the expertise to gather the data.
